Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal, who scored in Saturday's 2-1 win over Athletic Club in La Liga, said the Catalan side try to "think about the goal" and the players have the premise of going "like arrows towards it" when they win the ball back.
"We try to think about the goal. When we see the ball, we go like arrows towards it," the Barcelona winger told 'DAZN'. He admitted to being “very happy about the win”, as in his opinion it is “very important to start by winning at home”.
The 17-year-old explained how he experienced the action of his goal: "I saw Nico Williams coming, who is not very intense in defence, and when I saw a gap, I shot." Asked about his relationship with the Athletic winger, Lamine Yamal admitted that the two spoke before the game, as they are "very good friends".
